"Worst experience of a trip away booked 3 nights stayed for 1 and left."
Cleanliness was terrible cob webs on ceilings dkrty ashtrays on a run down decking area broken leaking Toilet which wouldnt flush broken couldnt get Internet on to watch main TV and when it was in the normal channels wouldn't work could only get BBC player on which was a firestick, asked for a refund from the owner fkrnthe 2 nights we didn't stay and we got charged for 2 nights and refunded one. Terrible attitude from sykes cottages aswell a man called Stuart who was on the phone to my wife who was really upset with the experience and really low refund was outrageously rude and sarcastic siding with the owner instead of staying nutrual he was a disgrace and really unprofessional, would never use sykes ever again.

"Property was in a great location, i feel that the property is in need of a overhaul."
Very dated, there was mould in the bathroom ceiling. Shower not working properly, and outside decking very old and dirty. All of the above would have scored you more points.
Sorry about the problems in the en suite the mould has been cleaned off and the shower issue is sorted. Property Owner

"On arrival I would suggest a map of the site be available at reception as it took a while finding the Lodge."
Also, having to walk to the lodge to pick up the key and the fob needed to gain access with car was a pain. The lodge was clean and the welcoming basket was a nice touch. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable however, the 2nd bedroom had a matress which was smaller than the base and not to comfortable. The recliner couch looked good on photo's (home from home), but wasn't comfy at all. The back was loose and to far back when upright. I felt like turning it up end to tighten any loose bolt's as I have done with my own. There was an upright vacumm which was empty on first sight but wasn't picking up. I took a closer look and found the pipe and filters totally blocked. I cleared it and washed the filters, although not the best it did pick up. Our stay was relaxing and the weather was good and hot which meant the balcony was very well used and enjoyed. The view of the lake was very nice. It would have been good to have the use of a cantilver umbrella as the deck was in full sun from midday until sunset, also a couple of fans would have given some relief from the heat indoors.These additions would have made are stay perfect. All in all we had a good stay, liked the site with all amenities close by. We would recommend this lodge.

"Excellent cottage for a peaceful family holiday ."
Some hooks behind the bedroom and bathroom doors will be useful for towels clothes. Nice circular walk around the lake. Balcony area is great for sitting especially when weather is good. Kitchen is well stocked with necessary pots, pans, cups, mugs and cutlery. Overall great experience.

"Enjoyed our stay at Grassingham 22."
Thesite is well kept, clean and quiet, an easy place to relax. The lodge had everything we needed for our break. The veranda has a gate on and was suitable for our small dog to wander around, he enjoyed his new territory, even the ducks came to visit, when they saw him. The complimentary basket of tea, coffee and wine etc was nice, take milk with you as the nearest store is Aldi in Carnfourth. We got some from the truck stop at the service station on the way. The pool is good but a little expensive for a quick dip.

"Had a most enjoyable stay."
The lodge was extremely cosy and well equipped. Comfortable beds and a bonus of having an en suite. Lovely views overlooking the lake. Appreciated the welcome pack, as we forgot our tea bags, and a bottle of Procecco was a great surprise, not to mention, fresh daffodils on the table!! Great walks on the doorstep. Ours dogs felt at home. The owners had gone to great lengths to make sure our stay went well. I recommend this lodge and hope to return.

"Accessing the lodge was easy and you couldn't fault it."
V well equipped and nicely decorated. Richard the owner is great to deal with and so helpful. The site is lovely and low key which we prefer ie got a bar and restaurant and leisure centre. However, the leisure centre is rediculously priced at £37 for the day for 2 teens and 2 parents. We were lucky and had sunny weather so got out and about to Morecombe, Kendal and Windermere. Definitely recommend this lodge and you can see the lake from the decking. The lights on the decking are a nice touch.

"Though well-equipped the lodge lacks a salt and pepper pot."
Some spare toilet paper would have been welcome.
Thank you for your feedback, as with all Sykes properties they are self catering and you do need to bring your own extras Property Owner
